DOROTHY /. Blk, who had national repu-
tation as a philsnthropist, died at the New
Jersey State Lunatic Asylum on Wednesday.
She was over eighty years old, and from early
in life took a great interest in criminals, pau
pers and the insane. She lectured in all the
States OF the Union in their behalf, and was
instrumental in founding many institutions.
New Jersey gave her homo through life,
and she had been at Trenton for the past five
years. During the war she was superin-
tendent OF nurses in hospitals
ONE of those frigbtful accidents which come
with appalling suddenness when there is no
apparent reason why they could not be easily
avoided took place on tho Erie Railroad be-
tween Allendale and Hohokus, N. j., Thurs
day. The catastrophe was attended with an
appalling loss of life, and over a dozen
mangled bodies on tho track attested
the neglect OF some one whose duty
il should have been to give warning Of
the impending disaster. A gang OF Italian Ia
borers was at work ballasting on the railroad
little distance from a sharp curve about
three ourths of mile above Hohokus. The
Chicago express, which was due an hour be-
fore, had not arrived, and these men were
busy at work, uncons cious of the terrible fate
which was in store for them The delayed
express, rushed round the curve before the
men had the slightest warning, and dashed
through them, killing twelve or fifteen on the
spot and wounding many others. The shrieks
of the victims were heartrending, and when the
train slowed up the track presented the sick
ening sight of being covered with mangled
bodies, the rails being spattered with blood
and broken limbs, pieces of ragged flesh being
scattered in all directions. Some of the bodies
were mangled beyond description and crushed
out of all semblance of humanity. To most of
the victims death must have come instantane-
ously, but some of them appeared to be yet
quivering and life ebbing away when the train
was brought TO a standstill.
